Who is looking for .223 components?

[HarCo2ANewb]

I would just settle for getting about 1k in once fired, dirty, spent primered brass for under $70-90

I'm looking for 62 grain bullets...anybody see it locally pm me thanks

Not local, but Top Brass has some 62gn pulls, $89.99/1000. Three to six week backlog on orders, they say. Some are a bit rough due to the mechanical pull process, and one reviewer suggests resizing.

Noticed an guy on Craigslist had just what you want, and they were $50/1000 pre-election. Post-election they went to $100, then $125 a couple of weeks ago, and now they're gone. The frenzy continues.

I've never tried 4895 for .223. My first foray into reloading this caliber was:

once fired Lake City brass
69 gr Sierra HPBTM
24.5 to 26.0 gr WW 748 (in 0.2 gr increments) and WW small rifle primers

I used 55 gr PMC factory loads as my "base-line" for accuracy as they were consistent and shot 1.5-1.75" groups at 100 yards off the bench. My best group with these loads didn't go less than ~3.5-4.0". Needless to say, I abandoned this quickly. I'm trying Varget next.

Help you cut to the chase with Sierra 69 BTHP with Varget; Max is 26.1 out of AR, my samples range from 24.0 - 25.5, groups sucked out of 16" 1-9 twist so slowed them down to 23.0 & 23.5. The 23.0 of Varget with Sierra 69's BTHP was the magic load while Nosler 69 BTHP's printed 1/4" tighter than Sierra's. So had to slow them down out of my tube vs. spinning them faster to obtain MOA groups @ 100.

At timonium I bought fired brass still with the primers for $50/500. Best deal I have been able to find that was available. Looking at the prices of polished brass some of it is at the price of what fully loaded cases were going for before the great panic.

I just picked up 2500 pieces of LC brass dirty and with spent primers for $100. Now I need some primers, powder, and bullets. Anyone have anything to spare?

I do indeed feel like I picked a terrible time to start reloading. I managed to grab 200 pieces of starline 45acp from cabelas last week.

I have some pull down 4895 I got for loading into my AR. Not sure if you use that powder or not.

You'll need to remove the primer crimp before reloading. Might want to tumble them as well. Apologies if you've done this before and it isn't news to you .

Where did you find that deal?

I have not done this with .223 yet, and forgot about the crimp, so thank you. I plan to tumble it though.

A guy I know through another forum had a bucket with 40 lbs of LC brass. All he wanted was $100. Fit in a large flat rate box and got here this morning. I have gotten about 1000 pieces of 45acp for next to nothing the same way.

 

[Nothinghead]

Actually, I believe it was already polished. It is awfully shiny for once fired brass.

Thanks for the advice. I'm running a 20" barrel 1:7 twist from a stock HBAR, so I should be able to burn a bit more powder...

Willing to trade .45 brass for .223?

Sorry to say this but that is a pre panic price and you likely won't see that for a while. The place I get brass sell it for that normally but they sold 26k of brass a in a day. Its all gone and no eta.....

 

[stu929]

I have some surplus large rifle primers. I would still be looking foe 223 brass.

I have a lot of brass, but i need pills and primers.

I can process the brass for you also. I'll have my kids (brass monkeys) tumble, resize, swage, sort by headstamp, trim and chamfer/deburr. we use a super swage and a gracie trimmer. we have a lot of experience and a lot of happy customers (york iwla).

Not selling anything, just a trade for some small rifle primers and/or 55-75gr pills. we'll make a square deal.

PM me !
